| Hello World... Just an update to get Giselle off my back for a post for the "I Write in June-July-August "   I have been amazed and almost reduced to tears with the generosity show to me when I announced I couldn't afford my membership renewal in time for September. The raffle is going quite well "Invalid Item" and that has raised 73k for me so far.I have not just been amazed at my W.Com friends generosity ~ I have had donations from people that I do not know... It all goes to show what a fantastic group of members we have on here. I am more accustomed with giving or helping to raise funds for others, at least now I know how other members must feel when they are helped out with upgrades etc... It makes it even more special to me now when dealing with RAOK upgrade requests... To know how grateful a feeling it is to receive help from our members. I would love to single out members to thank, but that would be impossible. Every donation or raffle ticket bought means just as much, irrespective of value. So I'd like to say to all of you that help, and those that would like to ~ but can't, THANK YOU FROM MY HEART!

Hi readers.  This has been a very busy week for me. First of all. I was made a leader of the "Let's help each other grow- Closed" .I am so pleased to be able to work with such a wonderful group. My July "Invalid Item" ends on Sunday for judging so lots of reviews still to do...I am working on something else that I can't mention just yet... And then I realized I hadn't written anything for "I Write in June-July-August " so ran to this blog to kill two birds with one post.(I promised myself I would do an entry per week if I could!) My 84 hour raffle was a huge success so a big thank you to all that participated! Don't forget "Invalid Item" will end on Sunday 29th at 17:59 WDC time. Well, until next time ~ Keep reading, writing and supporting each other! Regards, Sisco K ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

| Hello Readers... I have had a go at making my own website using WordPress. If you want a look go to: http://siscotheauthor.com I've had several tries before with different website makers, but found WordPress easy to understand and work with. If you want to try making one yourself, WordPress is free with the following sitebuilder: http://www.gotonames.com/ You have to pay for a domain name (Your choice) but it only costs about $10. With that you get a free hosting service and WordPress or any other choice of website builders they offer. This is only recommended by me because I have tried it and use it with no glitch. Do beware it takes about 10 minutes for it to update the servers, so don't do as I did ~ Email them asking why I had a message saying it was unsuccessful ~ They emailed me back within the hour and asked if I had waited the 10 minutes for the server to update.  I was impressed that at 2am I got such a prompt reply! If you want a totally free site-builder, then I would recommend the following: http://www.webs.com/ It is free and you will have a webs address. If you just want to have a Blog, then again I can recommend: http://www.blogger.com Mine is located here if you want to see what it looks like. http://siscok.blogspot.co.uk/ Well I hope that helps someone looking to set up your own site and have your own little web presence before you publish that bestseller!

| Hello Bloggers... Well there isn't a load to say, but as I've had a few blog views I guess I should put up an update. My auction "Invalid Item" has began to take bids. I have had some wonderful members donate GPs and fantastic packages.I would like to thank them all ~ they know how much I appreciate their efforts. (I hope they do!) There is still room for more packages and any donations/GPs received will help groups on W.Com. I don't know if I should mention it, as it sounds like boasting... I was awarded "#1 Encourager of the week" from a group I belong to.
This is a fantastic support group for members and families/friends of people with any mental health issues.
